FIRST Robotics Competition

As I am involved in the project for FIRST Robotics Competition controller, I got the opportunity to fly to St Louis for the FRC Championship 2013.

The iconic Arch in St Louis. It's the gateway to the West!

The competition venue.

Robots in action!

As my hotel was just right across the Arch, I went out and got a picture of the Arch and the full moon. No werewolves were sighted.

I can't tell too much about how am I involved in FRC but basically I am working on the design of the next generation controller which would be released in 2015. It's pretty exciting and one day, I hope the high-schoolers in Malaysia will be able to have the same level of technical competency to participate in the robotics competition.
